Recent empirical reviews have claimed a surprisingly strong relationship between job performance andself-reported emotional intelligence (also commonly called trait EI or mixed EI), suggesting self-reported/mixed EI is one of the best known predictors of job performance (e.g., �̂ � .47; Joseph &Newman, 2010b). Results further suggest mixed EI can robustly predict job performance beyondcognitive ability and Big Five personality traits (Joseph & Newman, 2010b; O’Boyle, Humphrey,Pollack, Hawver, & Story, 2011). These criterion-related validity results are problematic, given thepaucity of evidence and the questionable construct validity of mixed EI measures themselves. In thecurrent research, we update and reevaluate existing evidence for mixed EI, in light of prior workregarding the content of mixed EI measures. Results of the current meta-analysis demonstrate that (a) thecontent of mixed EI measures strongly overlaps with a set of well-known psychological constructs (i.e.,ability EI, self-efficacy, and self-rated performance, in addition to Conscientiousness, Emotional Stabil-ity, Extraversion, and general mental ability; multiple R � .79), (b) an updated estimate of themeta-analytic correlation between mixed EI and supervisor-rated job performance is �̂ � .29, and (c) themixed EI–job performance relationship becomes nil (� � –.02) after controlling for the set of covariateslisted above. Findings help to establish the construct validity of mixed EI measures and further supportan intuitive theoretical explanation for the uncommonly high association between mixed EI and jobperformance—mixed EI instruments assess a combination of ability EI and self-perceptions, in additionto personality and cognitive ability.

Keywords: emotional intelligence, job performance, heterogeneous domain sampling, personality,self-efficacy

Propelled by the New York Times bestseller of Daniel Goleman(1995), the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gained agreat amount of public popularity and business attention in the pasttwo decades; EI is currently considered a widely accepted practi-tioner tool for hiring, training, leadership development, and teambuilding by the business community. As evidence of this, Gole-man’s (1995) book has been touted as one of the 25 most influ-ential business management books of all time by Time magazine(Sachs, 2011), and Goleman’s (1998) article published in HarvardBusiness Review has become the most requested reprint from thisjournal in the last four decades (Sardo, 2004). Beyond the popu-

larity of Goleman’s work, a search of consulting firm websitesindicates more than 150 consulting firms offer EI-related productsand services (including two of the largest industrial/organizationalpsychology consulting firms, Development Dimensions Interna-tional and Personnel Decisions International). Indeed, EI serviceshave become a multimillion-dollar consulting industry (Grewal &Salovey, 2005), with some estimates suggesting that 75% of For-tune 500 companies have adopted EI-related products and services(Bradberry & Greaves, 2009). Despite the commercial expansionof the concept, some scholars from the organizational scienceshave been skeptical about it, given the lack of consensus withregard to its definition, measurement, and validity (Landy, 2005;Murphy, 2006).

For instance, one definitional ambiguity stems from the “emo-tional intelligence” label having been historically applied to two,relatively distinct theoretical constructs. The first sort of EI con-struct has been defined as “the ability to carry out accurate rea-soning about emotions and the ability to use emotions and emo-tional knowledge to enhance thought” (Mayer, Roberts, &Barsade, 2008, p. 511), which emphasizes EI as an actual ability,or facet of intelligence (Daus & Ashkanasy, 2005; MacCann,Joseph, Newman, & Roberts, 2014). The second definition of EIuses the EI label as an umbrella term that encompasses a constel-lation of personality traits, affect, and self-perceived abilities,

rather than actual aptitude (Bar-On, 1997; Goleman, 1995;Petrides & Furnham, 2001). These two definitions have come to becalled ability EI and mixed EI, respectively. Meta-analytic resultshave demonstrated that mixed EI measures and ability EI measuresintercorrelate only moderately (�̂ � .26, Joseph & Newman,2010b; �̂ � .14, van Rooy, Viswesvaran, & Pluta, 2005), and theyexhibit distinctive patterns of relationships with job performance.For example, Joseph and Newman (2010b) found that mixed EImeasures exhibited a strong criterion-related validity coefficient of�̂ � .47, whereas ability EI measures exhibited markedly lowervalidity for predicting job performance (�̂ � .18). Results of recentmeta-analyses further suggest that mixed EI measures can robustlypredict job performance beyond cognitive ability and Big Fivepersonality traits (�R2 � .142 � 14%; Joseph & Newman, 2010b;�R2 � .068 � 7%; O’Boyle, Humphrey, Pollack, Hawver, &Story, 2011), whereas ability EI measures exhibit near-zero incre-mental validity (�R2 � .002 � 0.2%; Joseph & Newman, 2010b;�R2 � .004 � 0.4%; O’Boyle et al., 2011). Joseph and Newman(2010b) described this combination of results as “an ugly state ofaffairs” (p. 72) because many have considered ability EI (i.e., theweaker predictor of job performance) to be based upon a strongertheoretical model (Daus & Ashkanasy, 2005; Matthews, Roberts,& Zeidner, 2004; Matthews, Zeidner, & Roberts, 2002; Murphy,2006), whereas mixed EI (i.e., the stronger predictor of job per-formance) has been at the center of controversy due to theoreticalunderdevelopment (Murphy, 2006). The lack of theoretical con-sensus surrounding what mixed EI is, combined with its superiorpredictive power, has created a paradox that we believe deservesadditional clarification. Thus, in responding to previous calls for atheoretical understanding of the substantive content of mixed EI(Joseph & Newman, 2010b; Locke, 2005), we sought in the currentstudy to answer two questions: “What do mixed EI instrumentsmeasure?” and “Why are mixed EI instruments related to jobperformance?”

In the current article, we thus propose to make two contributionsto the study of mixed EI and job performance. First, we shed lightinto the black box of mixed EI construct validity, to meta-analytically test past conceptualizations of what content mixed EIinstruments actually measure. Second, in an attempt to explain whymixed EI is so strongly related to job performance, we illuminatecommon covariates of mixed EI and job performance and assessthe extent to which mixed EI demonstrates incremental validityabove and beyond these common covariates.

What Do Mixed EI Instruments Measure?

In order to understand what might be in the black box of mixedEI instruments, we note that prior authors who have questioned theconstruct validity of mixed EI have done so primarily becausemany mixed EI items appear to capture well-established constructsother than emotional intelligence (Joseph & Newman, 2010b;Mayer et al., 2008; Murphy, 2006). In other words, it appears thatauthors of mixed EI measures may have (unknowingly) engaged indomain sampling (Cronbach & Meehl, 1955; Ghiselli, Campbell,& Zedeck, 1981; Nunnally, 1967), whereby mixed EI measureswere constructed to sample from various well-known contentdomains in the field of psychology. Although domain samplingtypically refers to the process of sampling items from a homoge-neous content domain (e.g., developing a Conscientiousness scale

by drawing items from the Conscientiousness domain), the devel-opment of mixed EI measures appears to have involved heteroge-neous domain sampling, or the sampling of items from a diverseset of content domains. Whereas heterogeneous domain samplingmay illuminate why these measures appear to capture a “grab bag”of content domains, the question still remains: What exactly arethese content domains that constitute “mixed EI”? In the follow-ing, we draw on prior theory and content analysis of popular mixedEI measures to hypothesize that these measures likely capture thefollowing content domains: Conscientiousness, Extraversion, self-related qualities (i.e., general self-efficacy and self-rated perfor-mance), ability EI, Emotional Stability, and cognitive ability.

We begin by noting that several EI scholars have recentlyoffered suggestions regarding the content captured by mixed EImeasures in an attempt to clear up the muddied waters of theconstruct. Specifically, Mayer et al. (2008) have summarized thatmixed EI covers four content areas: (a) achievement motivation(which is similar to the industriousness facet of Conscientiousness;Roberts, Chernyshenko, Stark, & Goldberg, 2005), (b) control-related qualities such as impulse control and flexibility (whichtheoretically overlap with the self-control facet of Conscientious-ness; Roberts et al., 2005), (c) gregariousness and assertiveness(which are two facets of Extraversion; Costa & McCrae, 1992),and (d) self-related qualities (e.g., positive self-appraisals, such asgeneral self-efficacy). Thus, Mayer et al. (2008) appear to havesuggested that mixed EI overlaps with Conscientiousness, Extra-version, and self-related qualities such as general self-efficacy. Wewill discuss each of these potential overlaps below. Before we do,we would like to point out that prior theoretical work on theconstruct of mixed EI is scant. As a result, when discussing theconstruct of mixed EI, we often discuss the measures of mixed EIrather than the construct (i.e., because it is not clear what theconstruct of mixed EI actually is, we tend—by necessity—toconfound the construct with the measure; cf. Arthur & Villado,2008). This is a natural result of a theoretically underdevelopedconstruct, and indeed in the current article, we attempt to helpremedy this very issue by developing an understanding of whichconstructs are subsumed by mixed EI.

Conscientiousness and Mixed EI

As previously mentioned, prior theoretical work suggests thatmixed EI taps attributes like achievement-motivation and control-related qualities such as low impulsiveness (Mayer et al., 2008;Petrides & Furnham, 2001; Zeidner, Matthews, & Roberts, 2004),which fall into the personality domain of trait Conscientiousness.For example, Bar-On’s (1997) mixed EI model includes subfacetsof self-actualization, or striving to achieve one’s personal goals,and impulse control, or effectively controlling one’s emotions—which are similar to the industriousness and self-control facets ofConscientiousness, respectively (Roberts et al., 2005). Similarly,Goleman’s mixed EI model (Wolff, 2006) includes initiative (i.e.,“readiness to act on opportunities,” p. 3) and achievement (i.e.,“striving to improve or meeting a standard of excellence,” p. 3),which theoretically overlap with Conscientiousness facets.

In addition to the content overlap between Conscientiousnessand mixed EI, a secondary reason that one might expect a positiverelationship between the two constructs is because Conscientious-ness has been characterized as a tendency to follow socially

prescribed norms (John & Srivastava, 1999), and this dutifulnessin adhering to norms likely carries over into emotional roles aswell. So conscientious individuals may exert extra effort in adher-ing to emotion-related norms (i.e., Conscientiousness gives rise toa motivational state that induces one to be meticulous in his or hertask performance [Emmons, 1989], including emotional tasks suchas perceiving one’s emotion, perceiving others’ emotion, display-ing appropriate emotions, and so forth). We propose that emotionalskills and abilities develop naturally as a result of increased effortin adhering to emotion-related norms (e.g., the more one exertseffort in displaying appropriate emotions, the better one becomesat doing so). Thus, we expected Conscientiousness to be positivelyrelated to mixed EI, which is supported by prior meta-analyticestimates indicating a strong relationship between Conscientious-ness and mixed EI (�̂ � .38 in both Joseph & Newman, 2010b, andO’Boyle et al., 2011).

Extraversion and Mixed EI

Extraversion, a dimension of the Big Five, includes two compo-nents: social vitality and social dominance (Helson & Kwan, 2000).Some have argued that the social vitality component reflects anunderlying need or desire for social contact that often results in agreater number of social relationships for extraverted individuals(Hotard, McFatter, McWhirter, & Stegall, 1989). In the process ofestablishing an extravert’s expansive social network, he or she likelydevelops a set of emotion-related skills (e.g., the ability to displaypositive affect) that are used to build social bonds. Many of theemotion-related skills that are likely developed as a result of anextravert’s desire to form social relationships are dimensions of mixedEI, including relationship skills, social competence (Petrides & Furn-ham, 2001), interpersonal relationships, and happiness (Bar-On,1997). Some mixed models of EI also explicitly include assertiveness(Bar-On, 1997; Petrides & Furnham, 2003), which directly reflects thesocial dominance facet of Extraversion (and the assertiveness facet ofExtraversion in the revised NEO Personality Inventory [NEO–PI–R];Costa & McCrae, 1992), reiterating the overlap between Extraversionand mixed EI due to common elements of both constructs. The strongempirical relationship between Extraversion and mixed EI has alsobeen well documented (�̂ � .46, Joseph & Newman, 2010b; �̂ � .49,O’Boyle et al., 2011), supporting the notion that mixed EI is posi-tively related to Extraversion because (a) extraverts’ inclination toestablish social bonds results in enhanced emotional and social skillsand (b) the social dominance component of Extraversion explicitlyoverlaps with dimensions of mixed EI (e.g., assertiveness; Bar-On,1997).

Self-Related Qualities and Mixed EI

The third content area that Mayer et al. (2008) suggested is cap-tured by mixed EI measures is self-related qualities. The idea thatself-related qualities may account for the relationship between mixedEI and job performance has been similarly articulated by Newman,Joseph, and MacCann (2010), who theorized that mixed EI measurescapture self-efficacy and self-assessments of past job performance.First, general/generalized self-efficacy represents one’s perception ofhis or her ability to cope with life challenges and task demands acrossa variety of different situations (e.g., Chen, Gully, & Eden, 2001;Judge, Locke, & Durham, 1997; Sherer et al., 1982). Self-consistency

theory suggests that individuals have a desire to behave in a way thatis consistent with their own image (Korman, 1970). When consider-ing emotional and social behavior, it is likely that individuals whohave a desire to maintain a positive self-image (i.e., individuals withhigh general self-efficacy) have cultivated emotional and social skillsthat allow them to display appropriate social behaviors to maintaintheir self-image. We propose that these emotional and social skills arerepresented in the construct of mixed EI; for example, the display ofappropriate social behaviors requires dimensions of mixed EI such associal responsibility (i.e., the ability to cooperate with others), empa-thy (i.e., the ability to understand and appreciate the feelings ofothers), and interpersonal relationships (i.e., the ability to establishand maintain relationships; Bar-On, 1997). Therefore, individualshigh in general self-efficacy likely have high mixed EI in order todisplay social behaviors that are consistent with their self-views,whereas those low in general self-efficacy may shy away from socialrelationships because doing so is consistent with their self-views (andas a result, these individuals fail to develop emotional skills andabilities for maintaining social relationships). In addition, an exami-nation of the content of mixed EI measures reveals overlap betweenthe constructs of general self-efficacy and mixed EI, including theself-regard facet of Bar-On’s Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i;Bar-On, 1997), which represents the propensity to regard oneself asgenerally competent, and Goleman’s (1998) self-confidence dimen-sion, which also represents one’s sense of self-worth (Wolff, 2006).Thus, we expected general self-efficacy to be positively related tomixed EI because mixed EI is one avenue through which an individ-ual can maintain his or her self-image and because of the contentoverlap between general self-efficacy and mixed EI.

Second, from looking at the content of mixed EI scales, it alsoappears that these mixed EI instruments tap into something akin toself-rated performance. Unfortunately, these mixed EI measuresare largely proprietary (thus, the mixed EI items cannot be pre-sented here in any way), or else a few example items might easilysupport the notion that mixed EI scales capture self-rated perfor-mance. These types of items are similar to the items “I feel I canproduce a lot of good work,” “I perform well in teams,” “I haveaccomplished many things in the last year,” and “I have performedwell under pressure” (although these are not actual items on anymixed EI measure, they are very similar). We note that these items(and their original counterparts present in actual mixed EI mea-sures) are conceptually closer to self-ratings of general perfor-mance rather than self-ratings of job performance per se (e.g., arespondent may evaluate his or her performance as a member of asports team when answering the item “I perform well in teams”).In the current article, we argue that self-ratings of job performanceare a component of mixed EI because they are a key aspect ofone’s perceptions of performance in general (e.g., perceived ex-cellence in public speaking at work would likely lead to perceivedstrength in public speaking in any context). This is because: (a)self-ratings of general performance are likely estimated via aprocess where one’s broad perceptions of performance are formedas a mental average of his or her specific performance acrossvarious life domains, and (b) as a mental average of performanceacross all life domains, self-ratings of performance likely over-sample from the work domain because work plays a central role inmost individuals’ lives (e.g., Kreiner, Hollensbe, & Sheep, 2009;Wanberg, 2012). Therefore, we argue that self-perceptions of jobperformance are an indicator of the domain of self-perceived

general performance, and as such, we expect self-rated job perfor-mance to be positively related to mixed EI.

Ability EI and Mixed EI

Beyond the conceptual overlaps between mixed EI andConscientiousness/Extraversion/self-rated qualities that were pro-posed by Mayer et al. (2008), an additional variable that may addinsight into the construct validity of mixed EI is ability EI itself.Although prior work has shown only a modest relationship betweenability EI and mixed EI (�̂ � .26; Joseph & Newman, 2010b), this islikely due to the content breadth of mixed EI (i.e., emotional abilitiesonly constitute a fraction of mixed EI content). Self-perception theorywould suggest that one’s self-perceptions are inferred from one’sbehavior (Bern, 1972), and given that mixed EI involves one’s self-perceptions of his or her emotional abilities, we would expect theseself-perceptions to be drawn from one’s actual emotional abilities(i.e., ability EI, which includes behaviors such as emotion expression,voice inflection, and emotion-related gestures; Salovey & Mayer,1990; see also, Brackett, Rivers, Shiffman, Lerner, & Salovey, 2006).It has been claimed in prior work that mixed EI includes self-perceived emotional abilities (Petrides & Furnham, 2001), and aperusal of items from the EQ-i (Bar-On, 1997), for example, showsthat some of these items clearly reflect self-ascribed emotion regula-tion and emotion perception abilities. In particular, the emotionalself-awareness and empathy facets of Bar-On’s EQ-i appear to ad-dress emotion perception ability and emotion understanding (twofacets of ability EI; Salovey & Mayer, 1990), and the emotionalawareness and emotional self-control facets of Goleman’s (1998)model appear to capture emotion perception ability and emotionregulation ability (also facets of ability EI; Salovey & Mayer, 1990).Therefore, it is likely that actual emotional ability (i.e., ability EI) ispart of the content that is sampled within mixed EI measures.

Emotional Stability and Mixed EI

Popular markers of Emotional Stability include low levels of traitnegative affect (Gross, Sutton, & Ketelaar, 1998) and dampenedemotional reactions to daily stressors (Marco & Suls, 1993; Suls,Green, & Hillis, 1998). These characteristics of emotionally stableindividuals likely reflect an enhanced ability to manage emotions anduse effective emotion regulation strategies (e.g., reappraisal; Gross &John, 2003). Therefore, we expected Emotional Stability to be posi-tively related to mixed EI because Emotional Stability involves theuse of emotion regulation skills that mixed EI comprises (e.g., stresstolerance; Bar-On, 1997). In addition, De Raad (2005) has conductedempirical analyses on the content validity of several mixed EI mea-sures and shown that for six mixed EI measures, 42% of the itemswere classified by content experts as direct measures of EmotionalStability. This content validity evidence is consistent with the largemeta-analytic relationship between Emotional Stability and mixed EIinstruments (�̂ � .53, Joseph & Newman, 2010b; �̂ � .54, O’Boyleet al., 2011), and the conceptual overlap between several facets ofmixed EI scales and Emotional Stability (e.g., stress tolerance, Bar-On, 1997; optimism, Goleman, 1998). Thus, it appears that part of thecontent “mix” in mixed EI measurement is the well-known concept ofEmotional Stability.

Cognitive Ability and Mixed EI

At this point, we note that any attempt by us to considercognitive ability as a content domain that is captured in measuresof mixed EI would be largely antithetical to the philosophy uponwhich many mixed EI measures were founded. That is, cognitiveability is explicitly excluded from most mixed models of EI. Forexample, Bar-On’s (1997) mixed model of EI is said to include “anarray of noncognitive capabilities, competencies, and skills thatinfluence one’s ability to succeed in coping with environmentaldemands and pressures” (italics added, p. 14). Interestingly, how-ever, this very model also includes facets of apparent cognitiveability components such as problem solving and reality testing(Bar-On, 1997). In addition, cognitive ability is theorized to pro-mote individual adaptability, primarily due to the additional infor-mation processing that is required in novel situations (LePine,Colquitt, & Erez, 2000). Because adaptability is a component ofmixed EI (i.e., flexibility, or one’s ability to adapt to unfamiliar anddynamic circumstances; Bar-On, 1997), we expected cognitiveability to be related to mixed EI—that is, individuals high incognitive ability can handle the additional information processingdemands of unfamiliar situations. Because it appears that mixedmodels of EI may actually include cognitive ability components(i.e., some mixed models are theorized to include abilities as partof the mixture of constructs; Boyatzis, 2009; Mayer et al., 2008;Petrides & Furnham, 2001) and because mixed EI models involveadaptability, which is related to cognitive ability via improvedinformation processing in novel situations (LePine et al., 2000), weexpected to find empirical overlap between measures of generalmental ability and measures of mixed EI.

In sum, we have proposed that mixed EI measures have sampledfrom several well-established construct domains, including Conscien-tiousness, Extraversion, general self-efficacy, self-rated performance,ability EI, Emotional Stability, and cognitive ability. Because mixedEI measures appear to sample so heavily from these seven constructdomains, we expected that individual variation in mixed EI will belargely accounted for by these seven components.

Why Are Mixed EI Instruments Related toJob Performance?

Previous meta-analyses of mixed EI suggest a strong relation-ship between mixed EI and job performance (Joseph & Newman,2010b; O’Boyle et al., 2011), with estimated criterion validities asstrong as, or stronger than, any other personality trait. To illumi-nate why mixed EI has such a robust relationship with job perfor-mance, we demonstrate that the proposed content domains fromwhich mixed EI measures are sampled (see previous section) arealso related to job performance. In other words, mixed EI taps intoa mix of constructs that have well-established relationships withjob performance, which explains why mixed EI predicts job per-formance.

Why the Seven Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and OtherCharacteristics (KSAOs) Relate to Job Performance

For example, Conscientiousness (a proposed construct domainfrom which mixed EI measures are sampled) has a known positiverelationship with job performance (Barrick & Mount, 1991; Bar-

rick, Mount, & Judge, 2001; Hurtz & Donovan, 2000; a linktheoretically due to Conscientious employees’ accomplishmentstriving, status striving [Barrick, Stewart, & Piotrowski, 2002] andgoal setting [Barrick, Mount, & Strauss, 1993]). Similarly, evi-dence suggests Extraversion can have reasonable predictive valid-ity for job performance, especially for success in management andsales jobs (Barrick & Mount, 1991; Vinchur, Schippmann, Swit-zer, & Roth, 1998; due in part to status striving; Barrick et al.,2002), and Emotional Stability also has an established positiverelationship with job performance (Barrick & Mount, 1991; Bar-rick et al., 2001; Hurtz & Donovan, 2000; a relationship explainedby the fact that Neurotic individuals exhibit poorer emotionalcoping skills; Connor-Smith & Flachsbart, 2007; Joseph & New-man, 2010b). Thus, these three Big Five variables help explain therelationship between mixed EI and job performance, because theyare common antecedents to both constructs.

In addition to these Big Five personality constructs, generalself-efficacy is thought to predict work performance by way ofmotivation, goal-setting (Erez & Judge, 2001), and job engage-ment (Rich, LePine, & Crawford, 2010). In other words, individ-uals with high general self-efficacy should maintain both directionand persistence of effort toward the job at hand. Therefore, ifmixed EI measures are sampled from the general self-efficacydomain, then self-efficacy should partly explain the mixed EI–jobperformance relationship. Further, because past performance is thebest predictor of future performance (see meta-analysis by Stur-man, Cheramie, & Cashen, 2005; as well as seminal discussions byCorballis, 1965; Humphreys, 1960; Jones, 1962; and Wernimont &Campbell, 1968), we propose that another key mechanism bywhich mixed EI scales predict job performance is that mixed EImeasures ask respondents to report, in part, how well they havegenerally performed on projects in the past. Accordingly, weexpect self-rated performance to be considered a common covari-ate of both mixed EI and supervisor-rated job performance.

Finally, cognitive ability appears to contribute to mixed EI mea-sures, and it is a fundamental antecedent of job performance (Schmidt& Hunter, 1998), largely due to the tendency for high-ability employ-ees to acquire job knowledge (Schmidt, Hunter, & Outerbridge,1986). Moreover, ability EI has been theorized to relate to job per-formance via enhanced social interactions, advanced understanding ofthe emotional demands on the situation (O’Boyle et al., 2011), andincreased attentional resources (because emotion regulation skill canslow cognitive resource depletion; Joseph & Newman, 2010b). Therelationship between ability EI and job performance has been sup-ported via meta-analytic evidence (Joseph & Newman, 2010b;O’Boyle et al., 2011), and thus, it appears that cognitive ability andability EI are common antecedents to both mixed EI measures and jobperformance, aiding in the explanation of why mixed EI and jobperformance are strongly related.

Heterogeneous Domain Sampling Model

In summary of our arguments, the various constructs tapped byself-report mixed EI measures (i.e., Conscientiousness, Extraversion,general self-efficacy, self-rated performance, ability EI, EmotionalStability, and cognitive ability) also appear to be antecedents of jobperformance. Therefore, these seven constructs should explain therelationship between mixed EI and job performance. One conse-quence of this state of affairs is that the incremental validity of mixedEI for predicting job performance should be quite limited once theseconstructs are controlled. In other words, we are advancing a theo-retical model of the mixed EI–job performance relationship that werefer to as the heterogeneous domain sampling model (see Figure 1,Model A; Cronbach & Meehl, 1955; Nunnally, 1967). According toour hypothesized model, mixed EI measures will fail to account forincremental validity in job performance after we have controlled forConscientiousness, Extraversion, general self-efficacy, self-rated per-formance, ability EI, Emotional Stability, and cognitive ability. In

other words, we believe these seven KSAOs represent all the essentialconstructs that constitute the “mix” in mixed EI that is responsible forthe large observed criterion-related validity of mixed EI.

An expert reviewer pointed out that our hypothesized heteroge-neous domain sampling model can be thought of as one model, in aset of alternative models, that can each explain why mixed EI relatesto job performance. This set of alternative models includes (a) ourheterogeneous domain sampling model (Figure 1, Model A), which isa no mediation model, in which mixed EI exhibits no incrementalvalidity beyond the seven KSAOs, and there is no mediation of theKSAOs by mixed EI, (b) a partial mediation model, labeled the“incremental validity model” (Figure 2, Model B), in which mixed EIpredicts job performance partly because it transmits the effects of theseven KSAOs and partly because mixed EI represents some addi-tional content that relates to job performance beyond the sevenKSAOs, and (c) a full mediation model (Figure 3, Model C), in whichmixed EI fully captures all of the generative mechanisms by which theseven KSAOs relate to job performance. As stated previously, in thecurrent study, we are hypothesizing the first model (Figure 1, ModelA), which offers a simple heterogeneous domain sampling explana-tion for why mixed EI relates to job performance. We tested thismodel (Figure 1, Model A) by comparing it against the two alternativemodels suggested by the expert reviewer (cf. incremental validity[partial mediation] model [Figure 2, Model B], and full mediationmodel [Figure 3, Model C]).

If our heterogeneous domain sampling model is accurate, then itimplies that a combination of traits—Extraversion, Emotional Sta-bility, Conscientiousness, general self-efficacy, self-rated perfor-mance, cognitive ability, and ability EI—together explain whymixed EI measures predict job performance so well. To expandupon this point, individuals who possess these traits should havemotivational tendencies and goals characterized by high status

striving and accomplishment striving (i.e., Extraversion and Con-scientiousness; Barrick et al., 2002), as well as elevated perfor-mance expectations (i.e., high self-rated performance and generalself-efficacy). These individuals should further be equipped toattain these goals and motivational agendas via their heightenedemotional coping skills, emotion regulation skills, and emotionalunderstanding (low Neuroticism, Connor-Smith & Flachsbart,2007; high Ability EI, Joseph & Newman, 2010b), as well as theirability to more quickly absorb job knowledge (cognitive ability;Schmidt et al., 1986). Mixed EI thus offers a high-utility mixtureof individual traits to predict job performance.

Defining Job Performance

Before we move on to describe the methods used in the currentstudy, we first briefly expound on our definition of the criterion, jobperformance. Indeed, past discrepancies in criterion definition haveled to some inconsistency in prior meta-analytic estimates of therelationship between mixed EI and job performance (i.e., �̂ � .47,Joseph & Newman, 2010b; �̂ � .28, O’Boyle et al., 2011). That is, inpast meta-analyses, O’Boyle and colleagues used an inclusive defi-nition of job performance that incorporated both subjective ratingsand objective results performance measures (in addition to studentacademic performance and self-rated job performance measures),whereas Joseph and Newman used a narrower definition of thecriterion to include only supervisor-rated job performance (see Table1). As such, it remains unclear how the mixed EI-job performancerelationship might change across different criterion measures.

With regard to the distinction between subjective ratings versusobjective results measures (e.g., sales, number of widgets produced)of the criterion, researchers have long lamented that objective mea-sures of performance tend to be contaminated by factors external to

Figure 2. Model B. Incremental Validity Model (partial mediation). Standardized estimates. All predictorswere allowed to intercorrelate. Model is saturated (df � 0), so model fit cannot be estimated (i.e., fit is perfect,by design).

the individual (e.g., sales markets, sick leave policies, and equipmentmalfunctions; Campbell, 1990; Landy & Farr, 1983; Murphy &Cleveland, 1995; Smith, 1976), suggesting that objective results mea-sures reflect both employee performance behavior and environmentalfactors that constitute a psychometric nuisance. We here have adoptedCampbell, McCloy, Oppler, and Sager’s (1993) definition of jobperformance as employee behavior, and we focused on supervisorratings of performance as our primary measure of job performancebehavior (see J. W. Johnson, 2001; Rotundo & Sackett, 2002). For ourown theoretical view on how subjective performance ratings andobjective criterion measures, respectively, relate to mixed EI, we haveborrowed from Aguinis (2013, p. 95) and Grote (1996, p. 37), whospecified that employee KSAOs/traits (e.g., mixed EI) give rise toemployee job performance behaviors, which in turn give rise toobjective results measures of productivity (i.e., a mediation model).As such, we propose that the effects of mixed EI on results (e.g., sales,productivity) are downstream from (and explained by) the effects ofmixed EI on rated employee performance behaviors. Therefore, wepredicted that the effect of mixed EI on objective results criteria ismediated by supervisor ratings of job performance. Unfortunately,there is a paucity of available primary studies connecting objectiveresults to several of the KSAOs, which precludes us from testing thecomplete multistep mediation model (KSAOs ¡ Mixed EI ¡ Sub-jective job performance ¡ Objective results). Therefore, we can onlytest the final three steps of this mediation sequence in the current study(i.e., Mixed EI ¡ Subjective job performance ¡ Objective results;see Figure 4).

Method

To test our hypothesized models, we first updated the corre-lations of both mixed EI and ability EI with job performance.Table 1 lists the primary studies that were originally coded inthe meta-analyses of Joseph and Newman (2010b) and O’Boyleet al. (2011), as well as the primary studies uniquely included in

the current analysis. We also conducted 16 original meta-analyses, estimating the bivariate relationships of both generalself-efficacy and self-rated job performance with mixed EI,ability EI, Emotional Stability, Conscientiousness, Extraver-sion, and cognitive ability (shown in Table 2). Then, by com-bining published meta-analyses with our original meta-analyses, weformed a meta-analytic correlation matrix (Table 3). We used thismeta-analytic correlation matrix as the basis for a series ofstructural models to test (a) the amount of variance in mixed EImeasures captured by a set of seven predictors and (b) the effectof these predictors on the mixed EI–job performance relation-ship (see Figures 1, 2, and 3). Although some scholars haveadvocated the combination of meta-analysis with structuralequation modeling (Shadish, 1996; Viswesvaran & Ones,1995), others have pointed out potential limitations of theapproach because this process (a) uses a pooled correlationmatrix instead of a covariance matrix, (b) lacks a definitivesample size for the meta-analytic correlation matrix, (c) as-sumes the elements in the meta-analytic correlation matrixrepresent a common population, and (d) ignores second-ordersampling error (see Cheung & Chan, 2005; Landis, 2013;Newman, Jacobs, & Bartram, 2007). Unfortunately, the onlyalternative procedure for testing a structural model with meta-analytic data (i.e., two-stage structural equation modeling, orTSSEM; Cheung & Chan, 2005) requires at least one primarystudy to measure all of the constructs included in the model, andbecause no primary study in the current meta-analytic databasemet this requirement, we instead used meta-analytic SEM. Indoing so, we followed Landis’s (2013) set of recommendations(i.e., we drew the elements in the matrix that were not estimatedas part of the current study from published meta-analyses ratherthan conducting mini-meta-analyses, and we warn the readerthat causal inferences cannot be drawn from these analyses). Asfor the problem of failing to specify a particular target popu-

306 JOSEPH, JIN, NEWMAN, AND O’BOYLE

lation to which the correlation matrix corresponds—this ap-pears to be a ubiquitous limitation that plagues the vast majorityof studies in organizational research and is not unique tometa-analytic SEM.

Literature Search

In order to estimate the structural models, we compiled a cor-relation matrix based on meta-analytic estimates from 20 pub-lished meta-analytic correlations plus 16 original meta-analyses. Ifmultiple meta-analyses had been published on a particular bivari-ate relationship, we used the most recent (which was also the mostcomprehensive) one. The 16 original meta-analyses included up-dates of the relationships of both mixed EI and ability EI withsupervisor-rated job performance, as well as the relationships ofboth general self-efficacy and self-rated job performance withcognitive ability, personality traits, and EI. Several strategies wereused to locate primary studies included in the original meta-analyses. First, we conducted a literature search in the databasesPsycINFO, ERIC, Social Science Citation Index, Google Scholar,and Dissertation Abstracts International for published and unpub-lished studies, using combinations and variations of the followingkeywords: emotional intelligence, cognitive ability, self-efficacy,and self-rated job performance. Second, we also cross-checked

reference lists from previous meta-analyses and reviews on similartopics as well as studies that cited the original scale developmentarticles for general/generalized self-efficacy (Chen et al., 2001;Judge, Erez, Bono, & Thoresen, 2002; Judge, Locke, Durham, &Kluger, 1998; Schwarzer, Bassler, Kwiatek, Schröder, & Zhang,1997; Sherer et al., 1982).

In accordance with our a priori construct definitions andresearch interests, several rules were established for the inclu-sion of primary studies. First, the analysis was limited to adultparticipants (ages 16 –70 years, excluding young adolescentsand institutionalized populations). Second, any studies that didnot operationalize general self-efficacy in a manner consistentwith the definition of general self-efficacy from Sherer et al.(1982), as a trait-like construct that represents global masteryexpectancies, were excluded (e.g., measures of task-specific orstate self-efficacy were excluded, mimicking the procedures ofJudge & Bono, 2001). Composite measures of confidence inperforming tasks across several, specific domains (e.g., Ber-nard, Hutchison, Lavin, & Pennington, 1996), or self-efficacymeasures that were specific to a particular setting (e.g., Jones,1986) were also excluded. In addition, measures that claimed toassess general self-efficacy but appeared to represent anotherconstruct (e.g., the personal mastery measure from Pearlin &

Schooler, 1978) were also excluded. The only exception to thisinclusion rule was in regard to self-efficacy’s correlation withability EI. Because there were no general self-efficacy primarystudies available to estimate this effect, we used primary studiesof specific self-efficacy for this particular cell in the correlationmatrix. Third, with regard to job performance measures, weinvoked a set of conservative standards: (a) only the job per-formance of employed individuals was included; performanceof specific cognitive or noncognitive tasks, lab experiments,assessment center ratings, and training performance were ex-cluded; (b) student academic performance and grade pointaverages (GPAs) were excluded; (c) studies measuring onlycontextual performance or organizational citizenship behaviorwere excluded; and (d) studies that provided objective measuresor third-party evaluations of job performance were excludedbecause, to be consistent with other meta-analyses in our cor-relation matrix, we were only interested in supervisor ratings ofjob performance. Primary studies of self-rated job performancewere selected according to the same inclusion rules, with oneexception. In order to obtain an adequate sample size for therelationships between personality/cognitive ability and self-rated job performance, we chose to include two studies (Os-wald, Schmitt, Kim, Ramsay, & Gillespie, 2004; Schmitt et al.,2007) that used behaviorally anchored rating scales across 12dimensions of college performance (these studies were includedin effect size estimates for the relationships between personal-ity/cognitive ability and self-rated performance). Results withand without these two studies were very similar; removing thesestudies did not change the relationships by more than .03.Fourth, any performance-based (e.g., multiple-choice/right–wrong) measure of EI based on Salovey and Mayer’s (1990)ability model was coded as ability EI, and all self-report mea-sures of EI (excluding self-report measures of ability EI; e.g.,Wong & Law, 2002) were coded as measures of mixed EI.(Note: We classified the Schutte et al. [1998] measure of EI as aself-report mixed EI measure; although the original measure is pur-portedly based on Salovey and Mayer’s [1990] model, the dimensionsof this self-report scale—empathy, self-management of emotions,utilization of emotions, and management of others’ emotions [Chan,2003]—do not align with the dimensions of Salovey and Mayer’sability EI model, and the items on the scale appear to capture contentmuch broader than ability EI [e.g., the item “I expect that I will dowell on most things I try” appears to measure general self-efficacy]).Fifth, studies that used student GPA or ACT scores to representcognitive ability were excluded. We also deleted studies that did notmeasure Emotional Stability directly but instead measured a relatedtrait such as the Sensitivity facet from the California PersonalityInventory (e.g., Baker, 2007) or negative affectivity. Finally, studiesthat did not provide enough information to calculate the hypothesizedcorrelations or did not provide sample sizes were excluded. Allprimary studies that were identified as part of the original search, butsubsequently excluded for any of the above reasons, are listed inAppendix A.

Data Analysis

Following Hunter and Schmidt (2004), we calculated sample-size-weighted mean correlations, with all effect sizes corrected forunreliability in both the predictor and criterion. For longitudinalT

308 JOSEPH, JIN, NEWMAN, AND O’BOYLE

studies that contained multiple measurements, only the effect sizefrom the initial measure was kept. For a sample with multiple,facet-level effect sizes of one relationship, we computed a com-posite correlation according to the formula provided by Nunnally(1978), or if inadequate information was available to calculate acomposite, we calculated a simple average. In cases where noreliability information was provided, we adopted estimates fromViswesvaran and Ones (2000, p. 231) for reliability of Big Fivepersonality or imputed the average reliability from all availablestudies (Hunter & Schmidt, 2004) for non–Big Five measures. Forestimating the reliability of single-item measures of job perfor-mance, we followed previous approaches (McKay & McDaniel,2006; Roth, Huffcutt, & Bobko, 2003) using the Spearman–Brownformula to downwardly correct the average reliability reportedacross other primary studies. Following Hunter and Schmidt(2004), when the standard deviation of the population estimates (�)was smaller than zero, we used zero instead. Also, to maintainconsistency with other job performance meta-analyses in Table 3,we based range restriction corrections for the relationships be-tween ability EI/mixed EI and supervisor-rated job performanceupon average ratios of restricted to unrestricted standard deviations(i.e., .95 for mixed EI and .99 for ability EI, which suggest rangerestriction was very minor for the studies included in the current EImeta-analyses). Duval and Tweedie (2000) trim-and-fill publica-tion bias analyses were also conducted (no bias was found; resultsare available upon request).

Based upon the meta-analytic correlation matrix in Table 3, wethen conducted multiple regression analyses, with mixed EI as thedependent variable, to test the extent to which mixed EI measuresare sampling the content domains of Conscientiousness, Extraver-sion, Emotional Stability, ability EI, cognitive ability, and self-rated qualities. (We also included ability EI as a second dependentvariable, in response to a reviewer comment.) We also conductedrelative importance analyses (J. W. Johnson, 2000; J. W. Johnson& LeBreton, 2004) to determine which constructs (e.g., Consci-entiousness, Extraversion, Emotional Stability, ability EI, cogni-tive ability, general self-efficacy, or self-rated job performance)contributed the most variance to mixed EI.

Next, we estimated three structural equation models to test theeffects of the KSAOs (common covariates) of mixed EI and jobperformance (see Figures 1, 2, and 3; note that Figure 2, Model B,is mathematically equivalent to estimating two multiple regressionmodels in this case). Model A is our hypothesized heterogeneousdomain sampling model (no-mediation model; Figure 1, Model A),which specifies no path from mixed EI to supervisor ratings of jobperformance. Model B is a fully saturated model (partial-mediation model; Figure 2, Model B) in which Conscientiousness,Extraversion, Emotional Stability, ability EI, cognitive ability, andself-rated qualities predict mixed EI and supervisor ratings of jobperformance, and mixed EI also incrementally predicts job perfor-mance. Model C is a fully-mediated model (Figure 3, Model C)that is similar to Model B, except the direct effects of all sevenKSAOs are removed so that mixed EI transmits all the KSAOeffects onto supervisor ratings of job performance. Finally, thefourth model estimates a mediation model from mixed EI tosupervisor ratings of job performance, which in turn lead toobjective results criteria (Figure 4).

Results

Results of the original meta-analyses conducted in the current studyare presented in Table 2 (primary studies included in these originalmeta-analyses are presented in Table 4). Regarding the relationshipbetween mixed EI and job performance, several major adjustmentswere made to improve upon the statistical validity and constructvalidity of previous meta-analyses. In particular, seven primary stud-ies were added beyond Joseph and Newman’s (2010b) meta-analysis,11 primary studies were added beyond O’Boyle et al.’s (2011) meta-analysis, and 24 primary studies were removed from O’Boyle et al.’s(2011) analysis (see list of primary studies in Table 1). This updateand refinement resulted in a corrected mean mixed EI-job perfor-mance correlation of .29, which is considerably smaller than whatJoseph and Newman (2010b) reported (�̂ � .47), and closer to theestimate reported by O’Boyle et al. (2011; �̂ � .28). The relationshipbetween ability EI and job performance was also updated, with amean corrected correlation of .20. This is larger than the estimate fromJoseph and Newman (2010b; �̂ � .18) but smaller than the O’Boyleet al. (2011) estimate (�̂ � .24). The estimated population correlationbetween general self-efficacy and job performance was only .13,which is smaller than that reported in a previous meta-analysis (Judge& Bono, 2001, �̂ � .23), although this newer estimate is based onmore than twice as much data.

For self-rated job performance, there was a high correlation withgeneral self-efficacy (�̂ � .51) and mixed EI (�̂ � .41), but near-zerorelationships with both cognitive ability (�̂ � .04) and ability EI (�̂ �.004). With regard to general self-efficacy, results showed that it ishighly correlated with all three personality traits: �̂ � .56 withEmotional Stability, �̂ � .54 with Conscientiousness, and �̂ � .51with Extraversion, and it strongly relates to mixed EI (�̂ � .45),whereas it has only a small relationship with cognitive ability (�̂ �.09).

After combining the original meta-analyses we have describedabove with the 20 previously published meta-analyses, we createdthe final meta-analytic correlation matrix, which we present inTable 3. On the basis of this correlation matrix, we estimated themultiple regression models presented in Table 5. Results indicate62% of the variance in mixed EI is captured by Conscientiousness,Extraversion, Emotional Stability, ability EI, cognitive ability,general self-efficacy, and self-rated job performance, suggestingthat a majority of the mix in mixed EI covers content fromwell-established psychological concepts (in contrast, only 23% ofthe variance in ability EI is captured by these constructs). As anaside, we note that general self-efficacy has a strong negativeregression coefficient for mixed EI (and for job performance, aswe show later), due to a suppression effect (Cohen, Cohen, West,& Aiken, 2003; Tzelgov & Henik, 1991) coming from high mul-ticollinearity of general self-efficacy with the three Big Five fac-tors and self-rated job performance. Results from the relativeimportance analysis, which partitions R2 and assigns percentagesof R2 contributed by each predictor (displayed in Table 6), indicatethat the most important predictors of mixed EI, in order, areEmotional Stability (29.5%), Extraversion (26.5%), Conscien-tiousness (16.1%), self-rated performance (14.2%), general self-efficacy (6.8%), and ability EI (5.5%). Thus, the answer to ourresearch question—What proportion of the variance in mixed EI isaccounted for by Conscientiousness, Extraversion, general self-efficacy, self-rated job performance, ability EI, Emotional stability,

314 JOSEPH, JIN, NEWMAN, AND O’BOYLE

and cognitive ability?—is that a majority of variance in mixed EI(62%; multiple R � .79) is accounted for by these constructs, andthe most important predictors of mixed EI are personality traits andself-perceptions.

Next, we estimated the models in Figures 1, 2, and 3. Thesample size for these models was set at 2,168, which is the samplesize for the mixed EI–job performance bivariate relationship.When no common covariates were taken into consideration, therewas a statistically significant direct effect (� � .29; standardizedcoefficient) from mixed EI to job performance (i.e., the bivariatecorrelation). When the theorized antecedents (ability EI, Emo-tional Stability, cognitive ability, Conscientiousness, Extraversion,general self-efficacy, and self-rated job performance) were speci-fied as common covariates of both mixed EI and job performance(Figure 2, Model B), the mixed EI effect on job performancedropped from � � .29 to near zero (� � –.02, ns). Indeed, ourhypothesized model, which specified no incremental validity formixed EI in the presence of the seven KSAOs (i.e., the heteroge-neous domain sampling model; Figure 1, Model A), displayednearly perfect model fit indices [�2(df � 1) � 0.19 (p � .05),RMSEA � .00, CFI � 1.00, TLI � 1.01, SRMR � .001]. Theseresults support our expectation that mixed EI fails to exhibit

incremental validity when a set of common causes of mixed EI andjob performance are controlled. Consistent with these results, thefull mediation model (Figure 3, Model C) yielded poor model fit[�2(df � 7) � 232.84 (p � .05), RMSEA � .22, CFI � .88, TLI �.37, SRMR � .07]. Note that Model B is saturated (df � 0), andthus, the fit indices are meaningless (all fit indices take theirmaximum values, by design).

Finally, a meta-analysis of the relationship between mixed EI andobjective results measures of performance was conducted (see Ap-pendix B), in order to compare the bivariate mixed EI-performancerelationship across different criteria (i.e., supervisor ratings of perfor-mance vs. objective results criteria). The meta-analytic relationshipbetween mixed EI and objective results performance measures was�̂ � .17 (k � 11, N � 1,846), which is smaller than the estimatedrelationship between mixed EI and subjective supervisor ratings ofjob performance (�̂ � .29, k � 15, N � 2,168). This finding wasconsistent with our theoretical expectation that mixed EI (as anemployee KSAO/trait) would affect objective/results performance byway of supervisor-rated job performance behavior (see Figure 4). Totest this assertion, we entered the previously described meta-analyticcorrelations into a mediation model (for the correlation betweenobjective results and subjective performance ratings, we used Bom-mer, Johnson, Rich, Podsakoff, & MacKenzie’s [1995] meta-analyticestimate of �̂ � .39). The practical fit of this mediation model[�2(df � 1) � 7.69 (p � .05), N � 1,846, RMSEA � .060, CFI �.99, TLI � .96, SRMR � .02] was deemed adequate, and the indirecteffect of mixed EI on objective results performance was statisticallysignificant (95% Monte Carlo confidence interval [.09, .13]; Preacher& Selig, 2012; see Figure 2). If we had additionally estimated thedirect effect from mixed EI to objective results performance (df � 0;saturated model), the direct path coefficient would have beensmall (� � .06; p � .05), and the path from supervisor-rated jobperformance to objective results would have fallen a negligibleamount, from � � .39 to � � .37. Altogether, these resultssupport our assertion that mixed EI primarily relates to objec-tive results criteria by way of its relationship with supervisor-rated job performance (Figure 4).

315SELF-REPORTED EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Discussion

The link between emotional intelligence and work outcomes suchas job performance has been an area of major controversy (Cherniss,2010; Murphy, 2006). Despite ever-growing attention from both thepublic and academia, and despite the well-known hyperclaims regard-ing the criterion-related validity of mixed EI in predicting workplacesuccess (e.g., Goleman, 1995), it has heretofore been unclear whatmixed EI instruments measure, and why these instruments predict jobperformance so well. The current study contributed to the existingliterature in two ways. First, we opened the black box of mixed EIconstruct validity by examining the extent to which mixed EI mea-sures capture content from the following constructs: Conscientious-ness, Extraversion, general self-efficacy, self-rated performance, abil-ity EI, Emotional Stability, and cognitive ability. Results demonstratethat a majority of the variance in mixed EI measures is captured bythese constructs (i.e., 62%; multiple R � .79), suggesting thesemeasures tend to sample content from various well-established con-struct domains in psychology.

Second, based on a combination of original and published meta-analytic results, we estimated the extent to which mixed EI demon-strates incremental validity over the seven well-established constructs(Figure 1) in hopes of answering the question, “Why does mixed EIstrongly predict job performance?” Our results indicated that aftercontrolling for these constructs, the relationship between mixed EIand job performance dropped to near zero (� � .02; ns). Basedupon these findings, the current study offers the unique insight that thepredictive merit of mixed EI can be almost fully explained after oneconsiders ability EI, self-perceptions (i.e., general self-efficacy andself-rated job performance), personality, and cognitive ability. Thisresult differs from the results of previous analyses (Joseph & New-man, 2010b; O’Boyle et al., 2011), which demonstrated sizeableincremental validity for mixed EI beyond the Big Five and cognitiveability but which did not control for self-perceptions or for ability EI.

En route to the previously stated result (i.e., answering why mixedEI predicts job performance), we also updated the meta-analyticcorrelation of mixed EI with job performance by including morestudies than previous meta-analyses and by applying a strict opera-tional definition of job performance that focused only on supervisorratings of performance. Our result (�̂ � .29) was notably smaller thanthe .47 estimate reported by Joseph and Newman (2010b) but quitesimilar to the effect size (�̂ � .28) reported by O’Boyle et al. (2011).However, we note that O’Boyle et al. (2011) had defined job perfor-mance very broadly, to include academic performance, sports perfor-mance, self-rated performance, work adjustment, and other criterioncontent (see Table 1). Thus, although the current effect size is similar,the construct relationship being estimated here is quite different fromthat of O’Boyle et al.

Theoretical Implications

We now have a theoretical explanation for why mixed EI predictsjob performance—and it turns out to be largely a psychometricexplanation. Mixed EI measures reflect a heterogeneous combinationof traits that have long been known to predict job performance. Thatis, mixed EI measures appear to have been developed (perhaps unin-tentionally) through a process of heterogeneous domain samplingfrom seven well-established content domains.

One implication of the heterogeneous domain sampling modelof mixed EI is that mixed EI researchers can now borrow substan-

tive theory from the constituent constructs of mixed EI. To elab-orate, because we now know what mixed EI is, we can use theoryfrom the nomological networks of the seven constituent constructdomains to explain additional outcomes of mixed EI beyond jobperformance. For example, the large portion of Emotional Stabil-ity, Extroversion, and Conscientiousness content in mixed EIcould help explain why mixed EI would be a robust predictor ofjob satisfaction (see Judge, Heller, & Mount, 2002) and leadership(Harms & Credé, 2010; Judge, Bono, Ilies, & Gerhardt, 2002).

Another theoretical implication raised by our study involvesthe standards for construct validity itself and the general ques-tion of whether heterogeneous domain sampling should beconsidered a legitimate method for establishing “new” con-structs. On the one hand, some critics might raise the objectionthat discriminant validity is a cornerstone of construct validity(Campbell & Fiske, 1959), and heterogeneous domain samplingprevents discriminant validity, by definition (i.e., if mixed EIdirectly reflects its constituent constructs, then it cannot beconsidered distinct from them). As one example of this, heter-ogeneous domain sampling might help explain why the discrim-inant validity of EI ratings from Big Five personality domainsis sometimes weak (see multitrait–multimethod evidence fromJoseph & Newman, 2010a)— because EI ratings explicitly con-tain some Big Five content. On the other hand, proponents ofheterogeneous domain sampling might contend that creatingnovel composites of established constructs is itself a meaning-ful contribution. Macey and Schneider (2008) made this sort ofargument when they characterized the employee engagementconstruct as, “a new blend of old wines” (p. 10), despite the factthat employee engagement was rather clearly developed viaheterogeneous domain sampling by borrowing content from jobsatisfaction, organizational commitment, job involvement, andjob affect (Newman & Harrison, 2008; Newman, Joseph, &Hulin, 2010). The question of whether heterogeneous domainsampling can be considered a legitimate new method for scaledevelopment is a major theoretical conundrum that emergesfrom the current article, but this question is, as yet, unanswered.

As an aside, we note that proprietary measurement—which is auseful way to protect intellectual property and recoup the costs ofmeasurement research and development—is nonetheless a barrier toscientific progress here, because proprietary measurement hides thesurvey items and thereby can hide the fact that a measure was derivedvia heterogeneous domain sampling. This practice gives short shrift tothe long-established constituent constructs, which are the predictiveworkhorses in newer compound concepts like mixed EI but which areforced into anonymity by measurement copyrights.

Finally, another natural consequence of the heterogeneous domainsampling model is the need to ensure more valid construct labeling.For mixed EI, the question is whether this composite construct shouldreally be called “emotional intelligence,” or even “emotional compe-tence” (cf. Cherniss, 2010). Although we do not feel authorized tosupplant the widely adopted “emotional intelligence” label, the im-plication of the current study for conceptual construct labeling is thatmixed EI measures reflect mixed competence traits (i.e., “mixed EI”describes individuals who are emotionally stable, outgoing, conscien-tious, with a high estimation of their own past and future performance,and [to a lesser extent] emotionally intelligent).

Limitations and Future Research

The current research is also vulnerable to certain limitations, whichleaves room for additional corresponding future research. One partic-ular Big Five trait that deserves further discussion here is Agreeable-ness. Ample research evidence has supported the overlap betweenAgreeableness and mixed EI (e.g., De Raad, 2005; Joseph & New-man, 2010b; Petrides & Furnham, 2001); however, we did not includeAgreeableness in our model (Figures 1, 2, and 3), primarily becausethis is a model of the theorized common causes of mixed EI and jobperformance. Agreeableness has a negligible relationship with jobperformance (Barrick & Mount, 1991), and it has been noted thatqualities such as empathy and interpersonal sensitivity might evenimpair job performance when the work situation demands ruthless-ness and toughness (Zeidner et al., 2004). However, we recommendthat future researchers who investigate the links between mixed EIand contextual performance (Ilies, Fulmer, Spitzmuller, & Johnson,2009), counterproductive work behavior (Berry, Ones, & Sackett,2007), or team performance (Bell, 2007) consider the role of Agree-ableness as a common cause. We should also note that whereas thecurrent study controlled for some broad Big Five traits (e.g., Extra-version, Conscientiousness), Mayer et al. (2008) specifically de-scribed mixed EI content in terms of narrower facets of these traits(e.g., gregariousness, assertiveness, impulse control). Future research-ers should attend to whether these particular personality subfacets canmore parsimoniously explain the mixed EI–job performance relation-ship.

As suggested by some researchers (Cherniss, 2010; Jordan,Dasborough, Daus, & Ashkanasy, 2010), future studies could alsoexplore the influence of the work context on EI. Depending on thetype of job, specific situation, or various kinds of people involved,different profiles inside the mixed EI “grab bag” may potentiallyhave different effects. As a meta-analysis, the current study onlyspeaks to average effects that were obtained across jobs.

It is also worth noting that whereas the current study focused onhow mixed EI appears to demonstrate a lack of incremental va-lidity after controlling for a linear combination of personality,self-perceptions, ability EI, and cognitive ability; some proponentsof mixed EI might argue that mixed EI is actually a profile ofvarious psychological constructs, rather than a simple linear com-bination, and this profile could demonstrate incremental validity inpredicting job performance. Although this may be the case, thecurrent study focused on how mixed EI is currently measured (i.e.,as a linear combination), and additional research would be neces-sary to investigate the issue of mixed EI profiles. As another issue,we mention that EI need not have uniformly positive effects. Therecould also be a dark side of EI, in which emotionally intelligentindividuals are capable of deviant behavior when motivated (Côté,DeCelles, McCarthy, Van Kleef, & Hideg, 2011; Kilduff, Chia-buru, & Menges, 2010).

As one final direction for future research, we note that the relation-ship between mixed EI and job performance may vary across dimen-sions of mixed EI. Based on a reviewer’s suggestion, we meta-analyzed the relationships of mixed EI facets with both jobperformance and the covariates shown in Figure 1 (see Appendix C;note that no primary study correlations were available between gen-eral self-efficacy and mixed EI facets, therefore specific self-efficacywas used as a substitute here). Although we could only estimate ourstructural models using the facets of Bar-On’s EQ-i (due to a lack of

facet-level data for other mixed EI measures; e.g., see Tables A andB), Table C shows that the covariates explain between 35% and 56%of the variance in each mixed EI facet; and Table C2 demonstratesthat after including the covariates, no mixed EI facet retains positiveincremental validity for job performance (although some EI facetsexhibit incremental validity with a negative regression coefficient, dueto suppressor effects). In essence, these facet-level examinationslargely replicate the results found for overall mixed EI: the covariatesexplain much of the mixed EI variance (helping to answer the ques-tion of what mixed EI is), and the covariates also explain the rela-tionship between mixed EI and job performance (helping to answerthe question of why mixed EI predicts job performance; although wecaution these EI facet-level results are based on a relatively smallamount of data).

Practical Implications

In addition to the currently proposed theoretical enhancement toour understanding of the mixed EI construct (i.e., our new explanationfor what mixed EI is and why mixed EI predicts job performance), thefindings of the current article have several practical implications.First, our findings reiterate previous meta-analytic conclusions thatsuggested mixed EI predicts supervisor ratings of job performancerather well—at least as strongly as any other personality construct(Joseph & Newman, 2010b; O’Boyle et al., 2011; cf. Barrick et al.,2001). Thus, for practitioners who have little concern about theoverlap between mixed EI and other, well-established psychologicalconstructs, these results suggest that mixed EI measures may be usedas part of a selection system because they tap into a diffuse, com-pound construct of personality and self-perceptions that exhibits rea-sonable criterion-related validity. This conclusion is markedly differ-ent from Joseph and Newman’s (2010b) admonition to, “exerciseextreme caution when using mixed EI measures” because it was “notclear why” mixed EI predicts job performance (p. 72). In other words,despite the fact that mixed EI does not appear to increase scientificparsimony in the construct space of the organizational sciences, thecurrent meta-analytic results suggest that practitioners could use asingle mixed EI measure to capture a portion of the criterion-relatedvalidity that could otherwise be captured by using a battery of sevenKSAOs.

However, we note that the criterion-related validity of mixed EI(r2 � .292 � .08) falls notably short of the criterion-related validityfor the composite of seven KSAOs (R2 � 39; see Table 5)—revealingthat although mixed EI offers no incremental prediction beyond theseven KSAOs, the seven KSAOs do offer considerable incrementalprediction beyond mixed EI. As such, and given that the majority ofmixed EI measures are proprietary and require fees to administer,practitioners will likely be faced with a choice between a shorter,more expensive mixed EI measure with lower criterion-related valid-ity versus a much longer battery of personality, cognitive ability, andself-concept measures with notably higher criterion-related validity.Managing this tradeoff will depend upon practitioners’ judgmentsabout applicants’ time, willingness, and capability to complete alengthy battery of seven KSAOs. Another practical implication of thecurrent article is that it illustrates a difficult decision practitioners mustmake once they have determined they want to assess EI. Practitionersmust choose between ability EI measures, which show a weakerrelationship with job performance but more precisely capture thenotion of EI as an intelligence (MacCann et al., 2014), versus mixed

EI measures, which show a stronger relationship with job perfor-mance but broadly measure many constructs in addition to emotionalcompetencies.

Conclusion

The current study attempted to help unravel the mix of whatmixed EI actually is. According to current results, the activeingredients in mixed EI—which make it one of the strongestknown personality-based predictors of job performance—includeConscientiousness, self-efficacy, self-rated performance, and Ex-traversion (confirming the conjectures of Mayer et al., 2008, andNewman et al., 2010), in addition to ability EI, Emotional Stabil-ity, and cognitive ability. These results illustrate that developers ofmixed EI measures may have engaged in heterogeneous domainsampling (Cronbach & Meehl, 1955; Ghiselli et al., 1981; Nun-nally, 1967), whereby mixed EI measures were constructed tosample from various well-known psychological content domains.Armed with new knowledge of which psychological fundamentsconstitute mixed EI measures, the current article aids in the processof establishing the construct validity of mixed EI. In answer to thework that questioned whether mixed EI measures should be usedin personnel selection because it was not clear why mixed EIpredicted job performance (Joseph & Newman, 2010b), the currentresults suggest that practitioners might be using measures of mixedEI as a practical, shorthand alternative to a lengthy battery ofseveral more traditional KSAOs.
